Matthew Poole and continuators on John 20:28

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God .

My Lord! to whom I wholly yeild, and give up my self; and my God in whom I believe. It is observed, that this is the first time, that in the Gospel, the name of God is given to Christ; he was now by his Resurrection declared to be the Son of God with Power, Rom. 1.4. So as Thomas did not shew more weakness and unbelief at the first, than he shewed Faith at last, being the first that acknowledged Christ as God over all blessed for ever; the object of peoples Faith and confidence, and his Lord to whom he freely yeilded up himself as a servant, to be guided and conducted by him.
